Location Partnership Program
Expanding Access to Virtual Naturopathic Care Across Ontario
Sequence Wellness is a virtual naturopathic clinic licensed in Ontario, providing evidence-informed care in women’s health, digestive health, dermatology, stress, and functional testing. While our services are delivered virtually, we believe strongly in community-based care and in collaborating with trusted local health businesses across Ontario.
Our Location Partnership Program is designed to create mutually beneficial relationships with clinics, wellness spaces, and health-focused businesses—allowing their local communities to access high-quality virtual naturopathic care, while strengthening cross-referrals and visibility for all parties involved.
Why Location Partnerships Matter
Across Ontario, many communities:
- Have limited access to naturopathic doctors
- Do not have a local ND clinic
- Have long wait times for primary care
- Already rely heavily on allied health providers (acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, etc.)
At the same time, many excellent local clinics and wellness businesses are looking for:
- Ways to expand their service offerings
- Trusted practitioners to refer patients to
- Additional revenue streams that align with their values
- Increased visibility without adding staff or treatment rooms
Our partnership model addresses both needs.
What Is a Location Partnership?
A Location Partnership is a formal collaboration between Sequence Wellness and a local clinic or wellness business in Ontario.
Through this partnership:
- Sequence Wellness lists your physical location as a community access point for virtual naturopathic care
- Patients in your area can find and book virtual appointments with our licensed naturopathic doctors
- We market our services to your local community
- We actively refer appropriate patients back to your clinic or store
- We pay a monthly virtual location fee for the use of your address and in-clinic visibility
Importantly, no naturopathic services are delivered on-site unless otherwise agreed upon. All patient care remains virtual.
Who Is a Good Fit for This Program?
We are interested in partnering with:
- Acupuncture clinics
- Chiropractic clinics
- Physiotherapy clinics
- Massage therapy clinics
- Multidisciplinary health clinics
- Health food stores / supplement stores
- Wellness centres
- Community health hubs
You do not need to practice naturopathic medicine to participate.
What This Is Not
To avoid confusion, this partnership is not:
- A sublease of treatment rooms
- A staffing arrangement
- A shared charting or patient ownership agreement
- A requirement to provide space or equipment
- A requirement for your staff to promote or explain naturopathic care
Your business remains fully independent.
